Around the time meme came to mean any joke in an image file format
Gary Larson was my favorite memer. Ever seen The Far Side memes?
See? Doesn't sound right at all.
Oh come on, who doesn't remember reading the meme strips in the Sunday morning paper?
When I got older I started enjoying meme books like Spider-Man, too.
This is some Idiocracy shit, I feel like this'll be the vernacular in the next 20-30 years. Hopefully an asteroid wipes us out first.
Paper? You mean hard copy website?
It doesn't, and it's annoying that pretty much any image displayed online is called a "meme" nowadays.
